The Veneration of the Phra Phutthabat Phluang Footprint Ceremony at Khao Khitchakut

January 17 – March 17, 2018


With a single-minded determination in life,
One must pay homage to the footprint of the Buddha on Khao Khitchakut.


We embarked on our journey on Friday night, returning early Saturday morning.

#Travel We rented a van and departed from Bangkok at 7:30 PM. We arrived at the Wat Phluang pickup point around 10:30 PM and transferred to a pickup truck for the ascent (roundtrip 100 baht).

Park entrance fees:

  • Adults: 20 baht
  • Children (3-14 years old): 10 baht

#TruckRide Riding in the back of the pickup truck was an exciting experience. We had only seen it in videos before, but the driver was skilled and familiar with the terrain, expertly navigating each curve.

The following is a translation of the provided text:

It rained on the way up, so we got quite wet. (It is advisable to bring a raincoat.)

The journey began at the starting point around 9:30 PM.

The destination, the revered site of the Buddha's footprint, was reached around 12:30 AM.




There is a fair amount of fog, so the air will be a bit humid.

There were many people waiting in line, but we managed to get in.

The fog was so thick that visibility was zero. This photo was taken just before we continued our journey to Pha Daeng.

After paying respects at the Buddha's footprint, we continued walking for approximately 500 meters to the red cloth, which took about 1.5 hours.

Some sections of the trail are sloping and steep, with loose soil that can be slippery. Be cautious of fatigue in your legs and watch your footing carefully with each step.

Upon arrival, write down one wish you desire.





Circumambulate the alms bowl three times.

After that, I walked down to return. From 2:30 a.m. I took a connecting bus and arrived at the bottom at 4:00 a.m.

The ascent was thrilling, but the descent was even more so.
The driver was truly skilled, managing to keep the car under control and park it on the steep incline. We were terrified that the car would roll away.




Upon reaching the lower level of the Wat Phluang bus stop, there was a long queue of people waiting, resulting in a significant delay.

This signifies the determination and perseverance to ascend to pay homage to the Lord Buddha's footprint and proceed until reaching the red cloth.
